Agadmator! You are truly a gift to the entire chess community. Taking this opportunity to highlight this beautiful moment of sportsmanship, I'm moved to tears. Thank you.
I'll root for Nihal Sarin from now on when I've got no rooting interest in chess games. Which I usually don't, other than the usual "I've heard of THIS guy, so I'll root for him".
Nihal is showing the world his ability to play deep strategic moves with tactical motifs even with 3 seconds on the clock ....he showed he is better in time pressure compaired to his opponents ...this game nihal had 3 brilliancies ....its time for his flair to meet hikaru ....the ultimate blockbuster
I grew up and was in my prime while Bobby Fischer was popular in the 70s! He was my 1st inspiration to get good at chess, and Magnus is now my favorite, probably because he does emulate him. I try to emulate both! Great claas act by Sarin indeed here too! When you get that good, 1 game is less meaningful than your character! Good call by Nihal.
The state of this board at the "Completely new game" point looks to be what I imagine a Paul Morphy game might look like had he been playing himself. Both Liren and Sarin are truly spectacular players.
I'm brazilian, congrats on the game, here we are all sad over it. Fun fact: My girlfriend always sees me watching your videos and I already told her your name is Antonio. Earlier this week I said to her: Me and Antonio are going to be doing the same thing on friday, and indeed we were. She laughed.
@@Curovicky you have never heard of football, have you? antonio is from croatia, and croatia eliminated brazil from the world cup to reach the semifinals. that explains the post.
Congrats Antonio for having reached the semifinals in the footbal worldcup! As an argentinian, I'm happy and thrilled for Tuesday match because, regardless of the result, both countries are among the best 4 teams in the world!
This is truly the year of the underdog! My wife is from Morocco and we had our own celebration. Yes, congrats Antonio. Your pacing and entertainment/educational value for chess commentary is unmatched.
And we didn’t get yesterday video because Agadmator was too stressed do to Croatia vs Brazil soccer game on World Cup. I heard rumors he was walking around house all day long!!! But now everything is under control Croatia took Brazil out and advanced into the semi-final. No video Tuesday Dec. 13 Croatia plays Argentina for plays in final. Btw Good luck
Wow what a crazy game that was some attack by white I haven’t seen many games like this one with these particular mating moves definitely seemed something out the ordinary almost as if White were the one in trouble but in reality He had the upper hand throughout Ding needs to brush some of the rust off now that he’s back in live competition I’m sure he’ll get himself back in form soon Thanks for the game Enjoy your day also

Nihal is up there in with the world’s best in blitz , rapid and speed chess at a young age !!! World title is around the corner . Classical he has to and will improve . Watte class player
#suggestion the second world champions birthday is coming up! It would be swell for him to finally get another win on this channel ;) I nominate his win over Reti with the black pieces at New York 1924, a game made more significant because Reti had just handed then-champ Capablanca his first 0 in years couple rounds earlier!
The match between Brazil amd Croatia is like the world chess championshipatch between Magnus and Caruana, it was a tie match until the tie breaker, so did Croatia needed the best of their performance at penalties but this time the winner wasn't the favourable one ( Magnus or Brazil) rather a parallel verse winner ( Croatia or Caruana)
SUGESTION: honoring next tuesday football match, make a video of some croatian vs argentinian chess players. One suggestion could be the game Trifunovic vs Najdorf from 1949 (this one was won by Najdorf)
To find a similar chess game (to Croatia-Brazil), you need to find a game where a great defender defends against Tal's fierce attack. And despite a disadvantage in the end game, wins the game.
I would probably compare the match Croatia - Brazil to the world chess championship 2018, all games between Carlsen and caruana were drawn until the end
#Suggestion: comparison of Brazil vs Croatia to a historic chess game. Karpov - Kasparov, Game 9, 1984. Karpov's patient maneuvering of the Knight similar to Croatia's ball control. Both games came down to penalty shots and pawns. Both teams and players were champions of the highest order in a hard fought game that could have gone either way.
There is one more match in which nihal to end the game Ng4 and the brilliant finish it and tactic it was ..please explain that to me also ..I am unable to understand that
Truly honorable of Nihal to give the point back, spectacular chess + great sportsmanship = best type of chess player
That was really classy. And fair.
@@alpha007org Carlsen to Niemann: "See? See? That's what I was doing ..."

Thanks so much Antonio for covering this.
Congrats to Nihal! He's a "class act" and this was a first-rate game!
I'm glad you talk about/promote this kind of ethical behavior. Makes me proud to be a subscriber
Agreed!
Round of Applause! That was spectacular!
I grew up and was in my prime while Bobby Fischer was popular in the 70s! He was my 1st inspiration to get good at chess, and Magnus is now my favorite, probably because he does emulate him.
I try to emulate both!
Great claas act by Sarin indeed here too!
When you get that good, 1 game is less meaningful than your character! Good call by Nihal.
One hopes you are trying to emulate the chess part of their lives, and not necessarily other parts.

I don't think he played tho 😂
I am sure the referee will be a big Messi fan again and hand Argentina victory
Agadmator, I bet you thought Brazil was winning a lot of the time before Croatia finally beat them. Good luck the rest of the way.
Damn he also plays foot ball. Wow
Congrats from the Netherlands to Croatia.
Not a football fan myself, i can imagine the joy in Croatia. It was a great moment.
“This is where the fun begins.”

Very fascinating setup of pieces! Most in a long time!
Incredible line and great work of research you did on it !
sportsmanship above all, big respect
Respect for nihal increase soo much😘😘😍🙌👏 and this lines and position i really seen first time🤯🤯
I know Croatia is making you proud in the world cup Agad!!!
U guys should beat Argentina, Luka Modric👿

I'm so impressed with Nihal, this match solidified me as a fan
Sigma move by Nihal. One of the very few occasions the word Sigma actually has meaning.
Is it sigma or alpha?
It is Omega move.

Congrats from Egypt to your country, Agad!
Excellent and mind blowing chess by Nihal
Amazingly complex game. My mind is boggled by the lines you showed us. Thank you and congrats to Croatia.
This is akin to finding the only moves in a traditional Fried Liver Attack, but in real time, over the board.
The checkmate trap at 8:20 is just like the Halosar trap in the Blackmar Deimar gambit.
Go check that out if you're unfamiliar.
Agadmator’s commentary should be in a book somewhere
Now, that definitely would be something to show your friends at the library about 😉
Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷 Congrats to Croatia! 🇭🇷
Wonderful explanation of this complex game. Thx a lot Agadmator!
Classy move on short game. Full game great ending. Love it
And we didn’t get yesterday video because Agadmator was too stressed do to Croatia vs Brazil soccer game on World Cup. I heard rumors he was walking around house all day long!!! But now everything is under control Croatia took Brazil out and advanced into the semi-final.
No video Tuesday Dec. 13
Croatia plays Argentina for plays in final.
Btw Good luck
Croatia was the unexpected winner of the football match against Brazil. I was pleased.
This is insane! I never saw this line before.
Nihal deserves Sir Morphy head for showing such class, if not the game.
Now that is sportsmanship.
The bar for good human behaviour has never been so low. This guy is a hero for doing what should be the normal correct action.
He also lost a game exactly like this in the same game before ding lost
But ding didn't resign in the next game
This is closer to insanity than chess.
Croatia vs Brasil was a great match !! Congrats to Crotia for winning and going to the semifinals!!
Absolute masterpiece, the game it's self and the commentary also

There are a LOT of great young chess players around these days. A few years from now the candidates tournament will be a thing to behold.

Nihal Sarin is a very class chess player.🤓
A spectacular victory for Nihal Sarin.🏆
what a whirlwind of a match recap! crazy stuff
What an amazing speed game and a whole venomous line I did not know existed.
The football match was a spectacular one
This is beautiful
This is reminiscent of the old school games of Morphy etc. Kings gambit style king hunt.

Bro was like I could beat him even after sacrificing one point.
Croatia's comeback against Brazil yesterday was amazing
I'm starting to like Nihal's style very much!
@3.13 why not defend with the knight. Can someone explain the next line?
